Black Board Experiment

12-Oct-2017

Shaper Twin gets best carving board

With nine boards to the test in the 2017 edition ofThe Blackboard Experiment, we tapped Aussie pipe phenom,Scotty James, to put the collection of blank
snowboards through the paces. Just as Sage Kotsenburg before him, Scotty doesn't have a board sponsor, so he can ride anything he wants. The two-time
Olympian has medaled atX Games and the US Open, and possesses an innate edge control honed from years riding transition and lapping his home parks
of Perisher.

Once again partnering withMammoth Mountainwe had Scotty test out all nine anonymous park boards, rating them in four categories over five days. The
scores were tallied at the end in jibbing, jumping, transition, and carving to determine which deck stood out in each category, as well as the
overall park destroyer.
